The benefits of introducing children to poetry at a young age include opening the door to the world of great literature, teaching them about emotion, and advancing language development. But how can parents get started?
Fortunately, a lot of resources are available to parents and teachers, including a significant number of children’s picture books that illustrate great, classic poems. Within the pages of these books, children encounter beauty in language and images, with illustrations that spark the child’s imagination as they consider the word-magic of the poems.
